vB Code List

vB Code

vB code is a set of tags based on the HTML language that you may already be familiar with.
They allow you to add formatting to your messages in the same way as HTML does,
but have a simpler syntax and will never break the layout of the pages you are viewing.
The ability to use vB Code is set on a forum-by-forum basis by the administrator,
so you should check the forum rules when you post a new message.

The [list] tag allows you to create simple, bulleted lists without specifying an option. Within the value portion, each bullet is denoted by the [*] tag.

Usage

[list]value[/list]

Example Usage

[list][*]list item 1[*]list item 2[/list]

Example Output

list item 1

list item 2

Advanced Lists

The option should have a value of 1 (for a numbered list) or A (for an alphabetic with capital letters list) or a (for an alphabetic with lowercase letters list) or I (for a numbered with capital Roman numeral list) or i (for a numbered with small Roman numeral list).

Youtube Video Embedding

You can embed a youtube video if you know the unique video code. For example, in a URL like:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PjBSicSVqI&feature=g-vrec
You would take everything after the v= but before the next &, which in this case is "3PjBSicSVqI". Paste this between [youtube] [/youtube] tags and there you go.
